Great visit - Easy getting on the boat, and train ride up the mountain. Be sure to bring good boys with tread as about of the paths are steep and are slick with slushy snow. They do have wrap around snow shoes for around $30 US dollars for sale at the top. Spa was great as well, pay the extra for the robe to walk around in

Mineral Baths with a View - The spa is first class. Loved viewing the mountains while in the baths and in the relaxation areas. Nice changing rooms, large locker, and provided a towel.

Mt. Rigi Adventure - This tour is recommended. The best part we enjoyed was doing everything on our on time. The view was spectacular and the people were friendly. It was easy to move about as almost everyone spoke English! This is a trip you shouldn’t pass on!

Beautiful - I understand why this is called the queen of mountains, it was absolutely beautiful! I like how the tour included a cable car ride, train ride and boat ride. Got to see the beautiful scenery from so many different levels and angles!

Absolutely loved the... - Absolutely loved the experience. Worth every penny. I will say that there needs to be a bit more details provided with the transit. We got off the cogwheel and had no idea where how to get to the boat. Which was extra problematic since I was with my mom who uses a cane so us traces up and downhill searching for where to go was pretty bad. We barely made the last ride back. All in all great time but there is room for small improvements.

Were not able to go - We did not go on the excursion. We were unable to find the meeting spot and everyone we asked had no idea what we were talking about. Our hotel sent us to the boat dock but they knew nothing about the excursion. VERY disappointed

Not worth it- dont waste your time.. - Boat wouldn’t allow us to use this ticket argued that we needed a separate ticket to take the boat to Vitznau from Lucern. took the cogwheel train and they also couldn’t scan the ticket, but they were kind enough to let us go anyways. The spa was super busy and over crowded. Nothing is open on Sundays- so very few options for coffee and food! The. we took the cable car down and it was so packed we could t see anything Worst tour ever! I have taken dozens of tours and would t recommend this one. Get your own tickets, and do your own thing!
